Not always, if the smaller number is 0 or a negative number. Then their sum will be equal or less than the greater number.

The sum of two numbers is greater than either number?

The sum of two numbers will almost always be greater than either number. The only exception would be when dealing with two negative numbers.


What is a conjecture for multiplying two odd numbers?

One possible conjecture: The product is always an odd number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always greater than either of them. Another possible conjecture: Both odd numbers are always factors of the product. Another possible conjecture: The product is never a multiple of ' 2 '. Another possible conjecture: The product is always a real, rational number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always an integer.


What is the product of two odd numbers?

The product of two odd numbers is always an odd number.


A group of students are finding the perimeters of rectangles whose lengths and widths are whole numbers they notice that all the perimeters are not even numbers is this always true?

No, it is always false. Perimeter of a rectangle= 2l + 2w, l= length, w=width. 2*any whole number, regardless odd or even, is even. Thus 2l is even and 2w is even. The sum of two even numbers is always even.


What is the perimiter of a rectangle if one side is 22 feet?

In order to know the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to know both its length and its width ... two numbers. One number isn't enough. If one side of a rectangle is 22 feet, then the perimeter of the rectangle can be any number greater than 44 feet. There are an infinite number of different possibilities.

Is 23.67 cm greater than 237 cm?

Since the units are the same, look at the numbers. The larger numbers is the larger measurement. If you have trouble with that, the number with more digits (before the decimal point) is the larger number.


What are two mathods of comparing numbers?

One option for comparing two numbers is to subtract the first number from the second number. If the result is less than zero, the first number is larger. If the result is greater than zero, the second number is larger. If the result is zero, the numbers are equal. Another option (for positive numbers) would be to divide the first number by the second number. If the result is greater than one, the first number is larger. If the result is less than one, the second number is larger. If the result is one, the numbers are equal. This rule flips if you are comparing negative numbers.


Is 6 10th larger that 5 10th?

As the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, the numerators (top numbers) can be compared and the larger number is the larger fraction. 6 is greater than 5 thus 6/10 is greater than 5/10.


What number is not greater than 64?

I don't know how to "grate" a number ... numbers are not cheese. An infinite number of numbers are "greater" (larger) than 64. Likewise, an infinite number of numbers are not "greater" (in other words, less than) 64, starting with 63, 62, 61, ... Actually, there are an infinite numbers that are less than 64, but greater than 63, unless you specify "whole numbers".


How you could use a number line to determine which of two numbers is greater?

On a number line, the numbers start with zero and get larger as they move to the right, They are negative and get smaller as they move to the left from the zero. To find which number is greater, you can find the places of two numbers on the line and the one on the right is greater.
